Don\u2019t get me wrong: As a spiritual person (even my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-is-an-aura\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-is-an-aura\/\">purple aura color<\/a> says so), I&#8217;m the first to believe that your thoughts become your reality. But declaring &#8220;love&#8221; for myself has often felt a little disingenuous. I always figured it was my natural aversion to lovey-dovey emotions that was holding me back (typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/aquarius-traits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/aquarius-traits\/\">Aquarius<\/a> here). But after I was pushed to say \u201cI love you\u201d to a mirror last year at a wellness retreat, I had a different realization: It wasn\u2019t that I didn\u2019t <em>relate<\/em> to self-love\u2014it was that I hadn&#8217;t built enough trust in myself to feel it.<\/div>\n<p>When you\u2019re given advice on self-love, it\u2019s typically filled with commentary around the importance of self care and grace for your mistakes. Podcasts and articles will suggest listening to uplifting music, or ignoring your inner critic, or, yes, looking in the mirror and saying \u201cI love you\u201d to your own face. But the idea of trusting yourself? Eh, take it or leave it.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, no number of positive affirmations or mood-boosting activities can get you to a place of genuine self-love if you don\u2019t really, truly trust yourself. \u201cIf we look in the mirror and say, \u2018I love you, I believe in you, you&#8217;ve got this,\u2019 but we haven&#8217;t built that foundation of self-trust, then we have no reason to believe our words,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lizmoody.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.lizmoody.com\/\">Liz Moody<\/a>, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWays-Change-Your-Life-Relationships%2Fdp%2F0063333716%2F%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx12148-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fhow-to-trust-yourself%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fhow-to-trust-yourself%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ways-Change-Your-Life-Relationships\/dp\/0063333716\/\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-aff-intermediate=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ways-Change-Your-Life-Relationships\/dp\/0063333716\/?tag=wgtrx12148-20&amp;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fhow-to-trust-yourself%2F&amp;asc_source=direct&amp;asc_campaign=no-campaign\"><em>100 Ways To Change Your Life<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline text-h5 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-trust-yourself\/\" current-title=\"I Thought Self-Love Was B.S.\u2014And Then I Discovered Self-Trust\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Well-Mess_Feature_-If-Self-Love-Feels-Like-a-High-Bar-Why-Not-Give-Self-Trust-a-Try__feature-1-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-07-26\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-trust-yourself\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-trust-yourself\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-trust-yourself\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In fact, we have a ton of reasons <em>not<\/em> to believe our own positive self-talk (besides the natural inclination to eye-roll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mirror-work\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mirror-work\/\">mirror work<\/a>, if you\u2019re anything like me). \u201cWe live in a culture that tears us down and then tells us to love ourselves,\u201d says licensed psychotherapist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lialoveavellino.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.lialoveavellino.com\/about\">Lia Avellino, LCSW<\/a>. \u201cThe message is that, \u2018You should be skinny, be smiley, be nice, don\u2019t be angry, and buy all sorts of things to fix yourself\u2014but also, while you\u2019re at it, love yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe live in a culture that tears us down and then tells us to love ourselves.\u201d \u2014Lia Avellino, LCSW, licensed psychotherapist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These mixed messages aren\u2019t just confusing\u2014they&#8217;re incessant. \u201cThe number of negative messages we take in from ourselves and from society eclipses the number of kind messages,\u201d says Moody. Which means all of our positive affirmations and feel-good quotes can only do so much when our brains are constantly &#8220;creating neurological pathways that tend more toward negativity and reproach,&#8221; she says. Basically, our brain gets comfortable with bad vibes, and it can begin to view self-love as sketchy.<\/p>\n<p>To love yourself authentically, you need to learn to trust yourself first, says Moody\u2014which, to me, is a far more appealing sentiment anyway. While love is often touted as this inexplicable feeling (\u201cYou just know it when you feel it!\u201d), or something you \u201cfall into,\u201d trust is tangible: \u201cYou can take pragmatic steps toward building trust in yourself,\u201d says Moody, just as you\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-rebuild-trust\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-rebuild-trust\/\">build trust<\/a> in someone else.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the real meaning of self-trust?<\/h2>\n<p>Self-trust is feeling confident in your decisions\u2014even the ones that may hurt or alienate others\u2014while also \u201ctaking accountability, ownership, and responsibility\u201d for when you mess up, says licensed family and marriage therapist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkcouplescounseling.com\/about\/vienna-pharaon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkcouplescounseling.com\/about\/vienna-pharaon\/\">Vienna Pharaon, LMFT<\/a>, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FOrigins-You-Breaking-Patterns-Liberate%2Fdp%2F0593539915%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx12148-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fhow-to-trust-yourself%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fhow-to-trust-yourself%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Origins-You-Breaking-Patterns-Liberate\/dp\/0593539915\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-aff-intermediate=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Origins-You-Breaking-Patterns-Liberate\/dp\/0593539915?tag=wgtrx12148-20&amp;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fhow-to-trust-yourself%2F&amp;asc_source=direct&amp;asc_campaign=no-campaign\"><em>The Origins of You<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> That\u2019s not to say it gives you license to be an awful human being, though. Instead, self-trust is about \u201cnot second-guessing yourself,\u201d says Pharaon, even when faced with peer pressure or others&#8217; disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelf-trust is knowing I can face challenges and be okay, even if I don\u2019t get it right or succeed,\u201d says Avellino. \u201cIt\u2019s knowing that I will be okay with myself, even when my boss doesn&#8217;t like me, or my partner&#8217;s mad at me, or my neighbor thinks I&#8217;m rude.\u201d No, you\u2019re not going to build this level of foundational self-trust overnight, but if you ask me, it\u2019s far more doable than happening upon self-love in a mirror.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do I struggle to trust myself?<\/h2>\n<p>Just because self-trust might feel more accessible than self<em>-love <\/em>doesn\u2019t mean it will come naturally. And that\u2019s especially the case if your childhood environment \u201cstripped you of your intuition, or your faith in what you see, feel, and know to be true,\u201d says Pharaon. Perhaps a parent consistently dismissed your feelings (think: \u201cyou\u2019re not actually sad,\u201d or \u201cthat didn\u2019t hurt\u201d), leaving you to second-guess whether your own perception of the world is trustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not always malicious though. Maybe you grew up with a sick parent who was trying to hide their chronic illness from you\u2014and, in the process, you started to doubt your own views of the situation. \u201cOften, adults think they\u2019re protecting a child from the truth, but in reality, they\u2019re accidentally disconnecting the child from their innate sense of intuition,\u201d says Pharaon.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, that disconnect can lead us to \u201cseek external validation to soothe our internal worries,\u201d says Avellino, which just further cements the misguided belief that we can\u2019t trust ourselves. The more we look for validation in other people, the more likely we are to also confuse other peoples\u2019 satisfaction with our own, says Pharaon, and fall into the trap of doing things to please others, rather than to fulfill ourselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is trusting yourself important?<\/h2>\n<p>Consider a life devoid of self-trust for a second: If you\u2019re just going through the motions without assessing what you truly want or need, you\u2019re probably not going to feel any real fulfillment. Sure, operating on autopilot might sometimes be inconsequential\u2014you tell a friend you\u2019re doing well without thinking about it, or you eat a meal you don\u2019t really enjoy. \u201cBut when we allow ourselves to be disconnected from ourselves in these little moments again and again, we aren\u2019t equipped to trust ourselves for the bigger stuff,\u201d says Pharaon.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where you might wind up staying in the wrong relationship, choosing the wrong job, or otherwise missing an opportunity to lead an aligned life. \u201cWe\u2019re essentially atrophying the self-trust muscle when we don\u2019t regularly check in with ourselves and follow through,\u201d says Pharaon. By contrast, when you trust yourself to do what\u2019s best, you can feel at peace with your decisions. There\u2019s a certain sense of clarity that comes from knowing you\u2019ve made a decision with your <em>own life <\/em>in mind, says Pharaon. And that\u2019s all you can really control, anyway.<\/p>\n<h2>How to learn to better trust yourself<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Get to know yourself\u2014like,<em> really <\/em>know yourself<\/h3>\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t trust a stranger, right? For the same reason, you probably can\u2019t trust yourself if you don\u2019t really know yourself. And according to Avellino, building <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/signs-low-self-awareness\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/signs-low-self-awareness\/\">self-awareness<\/a> means regularly taking the time to ask yourself questions about, well, you: What does it feel like to be <em>me<\/em> today? What are three things that bring my joy? When and with whom do I feel insecure or secure?<\/p>\n<p>To make the exercise of knowing yourself a little more accessible, try pausing in everyday moments to assess how you feel. Pharaon suggests something as simple as stopping to consider how you feel after purchasing something. Is that $7 latte <em>really<\/em> doing it for you? How did you feel after that last Amazon purchase? There are no right or wrong feelings\u2014this is just to get you in the habit of checking in with yourself instead of operating on autopilot.<\/p>\n<p>Another option? Instead of scrolling TikTok during your lunch break, use a few minutes away from your computer to reflect on the first part of the workday: What interactions felt good\u2014or not so good? How did a certain task or coworker or meeting make you feel? The goal here is to help you learn more about your own emotional responses so you can trust your own decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Tap into your physical body\u2019s sense of knowing<\/h3>\n<p>Nope, it&#8217;s not B.S.\u2014our bodies have a natural intelligence that can often get muddled or silenced as we grow up, says Moody. And by connecting to how you <em>physically <\/em>feel when you\u2019re in the process of making a decision, you might be able to figure out the best choice, even if your logical mind isn\u2019t so sure.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, Moody suggests grabbing your journal or your phone the next time you\u2019re wrestling with a big decision and jotting down whatever physical feeling you\u2019re having. Is there nausea? Can you feel butterflies in your stomach? Do you notice that you\u2019re holding some serious tension in your shoulders or your jaw? (Been there.) Write it all down. Then, once you&#8217;ve set the decision in motion, set a reminder for a week later to reflect on how it went and the feelings you wrote down.<\/p>\n<p>According to Moody, this exercise is &#8220;a really concrete way to say, &#8216;Oh, my body was giving me signals that this decision was wrong or right, but I didn\u2019t know how to interpret them at the time.'&#8221; Retrospectively, you can then begin to identify and analyze those physical cues, so that the next time you\u2019re making a decision, you\u2019re better connected to the intelligence of your body and feel more assured that you\u2019re making the right decision <em>for you<\/em>, she says.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Make promises to yourself that you can actually keep (and keep them)<\/h3>\n<p>If a friend is constantly telling you that they\u2019re going to do something\u2014maybe, be better at responding to your texts\u2014but then they never actually do it, you\u2019re going to struggle to trust them. And the same thing applies when it comes to trusting yourself: \u201cWhen you fail to keep promises to yourself, you\u2019re teaching yourself that your word isn\u2019t trustworthy,\u201d says Moody.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s probably part of the reason why I\u2019ve struggled to trust my own positive affirmations; I haven\u2019t even kept repeated promises to myself to drink more water\u2014even after literal <em>dehydration<\/em> landed me in the hospital with a kidney stone. So what real reason would I have to believe my own words of self-love?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen you fail to keep promises to yourself, you\u2019re teaching yourself that your word isn\u2019t trustworthy.\u201d \u2014Liz Moody, author of <em>100 Ways to Change Your Life<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To get ahead of broken promises, Moody suggests only making promises to yourself that you can actually keep\u2014which means setting the bar really low. For me, that\u2019s meant ensuring I get up from my computer one time each day to refill my water bottle (rather than trying to drink the entire recommended 64 ounces of water a day and inevitably failing). \u201cThe more times you keep a promise to yourself, the more you reinforce that you can, in fact, trust yourself,\u201d says Moody.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Practice emotional regulation<\/h3>\n<p>As you\u2019re starting to trust yourself and make decisions that feel aligned for you, you could run up against some fear\u2014it\u2019s only natural for the brain to doubt things that we don\u2019t know and to prefer the safest (typically, the most familiar) route, says Avellino. Still, that safe option is not necessarily the best one, and being scared of what\u2019s on the other side of a decision doesn\u2019t mean you should avoid the risk, she says.<\/p>\n<p>To keep yourself from running as soon as you get close to trusting yourself (whether you\u2019re about to finally say your piece, quit a bad job, or make some other decision based on your gut), it\u2019s important to have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/emotion-regulation\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/emotion-regulation\/\">emotion regulation<\/a> techniques in your back pocket. \u201cConsider finding a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/quick-breathwork-exercises\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/quick-breathwork-exercises\/\">breathing<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/grounding-techniques\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/grounding-techniques\/\">grounding technique<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/co-regulation-techniques\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/co-regulation-techniques\/\">reaching out to a friend<\/a> you trust to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/regulate-your-nervous-system\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/regulate-your-nervous-system\/\">regulate your nervous system<\/a> enough so that you can take these positive risks,\u201d says Avellino.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Leave room for the mess of it all<\/h3>\n<p>Doing what you think is right for you isn\u2019t always going to be a clean process, says Pharaon. In learning to trust myself, I\u2019ve made the painful decision to end a relationship with someone who thought we were in it for the long haul, and vocally supported my former team\u2019s unionization effort, even when I knew it would lose me my closest work friend.<\/p>\n<p>But as I\u2019ve had to learn, disappointing people and closing certain chapters of your life are often necessary parts of self-trust. And sometimes, that might feel like too big of a loss to bear\u2014which is okay, too. \u201cI think acknowledging the messiness of self-trust and the way it can ebb and flow is really important,\u201d says Pharaon. Feeling lost or confused along the path to self-trust is also totally normal, says Avellino. After all, connecting with the <em>real <\/em>you requires letting go of any versions of yourself that you created with others in mind.<\/p>\n<p>But the more risks you take in service of trusting yourself, the more reinforcement you\u2019ll get that it\u2019s worthwhile to do\u2014even when the decisions you make don\u2019t always work out, says Avellino. \u201cSometimes, everything works out great, and sometimes it doesn&#8217;t, but nothing <em>bad<\/em> happens, either,\u201d she says. (Yes, this is where the self-trust part comes in.) \u201cIt&#8217;s not necessarily about a sense of success; it\u2019s about building a sense of internal okay-ness, even when things don\u2019t go your way.\u201d And <em>that\u2019s<\/em> something to love.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[0px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
